@libertatus When our team was stolen (Supersonics), it wasn't just the city of Seattle and the State of Washington that got screwed; all the classic rivalries and matchups that the Sonics developed over 41 years are no more. The whole league loses. Lakers and Supersonics were classic matchups.
Always so ironic that Kareem didn't win with ADRIAN DANTLEY, NORM NIXON, AND JAMAAL WILKES. That Laker team was plenty talented. Guess they just needed a little "Magic"
Theme song is from Midnight Express "The Chase". Even thru today it remains the best highlight music ever used! I still have the 12" LP I purchased in 1978 after the movie was released. Played in discos throughout the late 70's early 80's. My high school hoop team used this song for pregame warm-ups. This song was made for hoop highlights!
3:15 I didn't know Kobe Bryant played for LA back then!

The NBA just ain't the same without the Supersonics. (And I say that being a life-long Lakers fan.)
